It is a 40'.
Look at this heli vid. An Excursion is 19'.
Going to go look at the boat tomorrow.

It is a 330 Dancer.

look at the back transom to the right of Wales WI marked 330.

I viewed both vid's, the raw footage shows the boat almost lined up exactly with the rolloff and the bed on those are 21-24' max, generally speaking. With the platform and pulpit, probably measures 33'.

Give us correct report tomorrow please. The guy lives 1-2 miles from me but don't remember the boat around here. DT

I hope it actually is a 33 ft boat. All these guys bash about the boat being to big to be pulled with said truck. People love to draw conclusions fast as hell. hahahaha

What kind of A-Hole puts his family in that "truck" with that boat??? Can only imagine the stupid crap he'd do on the water. Glad no one is hurt, they are very lucky IMHO. I have seen many 290's on trailers (9' beam without proper signage), but a 330 is obviously asking for trouble even if your left front tire doesn't blow out. Epic fail.

According to Sea Rays web site, the 33 weighs 14000 lbs dry and has 200 gallon fuel capacity.

I think he's over the limit, suprised the cop in the video was offering safety tips for towing. How bout use the right vehicle. He could have killed several people!

Maybe it's not an '04? Anyone know/care if Excursions were available with more tow rating?

Wait till he gets the recovery bill from Whalons for two cranes, wrecker and a roll back.
I'm sure he will hear from the WI DOT.
WI requires all over dimensional loads to be off the road by noon on Friday.
Hmmmm...wonder if he pulled permits for the move or was even licensed for the total combined weight.
